Right now I'm stuck.
I have fallen short.
Lost the words I'd like to say;
Words like "I love you."
Words like "please stay."
Is it selfish of me.
To say I need you.
I do. I need you, and I'm sorry I said it.
Is it unfair to ask you to stay?
To ask you to take this path with me? Is this the life you want or am I only manipulating you into misery with me.
I don't ever want to see you hurt.
To hurt you, is to break my heart.
To hurt you, will make me cry.
Can you see the future I see?
(It's the only one that I can offer.)
Or are we relentlessly walking to an end.
Pulling as hard as we can.
Stumbling, trying not to fall.
Dragging.
Screaming.
Scratching.
Helplessly we hold on.
But with nothing to save us
we hold on for a bitter end.
